I'm going to cut right to the chase here. How many of you have been holding out on purchasing a ticket to this year's Penumbra Beer Bash? If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, then maybe you deserve a couple of VIP tickets.

Wtf is Penumbra?

(Definition-a partial shadow, as in an eclipse, between regions of complete shadow and complete illumination) – AKA the darkness that defines the silver lining.

We get sleepy in the winter. It is dark and cold and wet. We see less shows, see less of our friends, and conserve energy to use in those far-distant five days of summer. To hell with all that! Let's drink great local beer, dance to awesome music and celebrate the LAST WEEKEND of Winter in Seattle at a crazy underground events space strategically located right behind Mt. Baker Light rail.
